When you make cookie dough and don’t want to make all the cookies, you can freeze the dough for later use. The trick to make it super easy is to portion the dough out into cookie-sized bits.

I always use a cookie scoop for drop cookies, so I use that to produce even-sized little balls of dough. Then I place them close together (but not touching) on a waxed paper–lined baking sheet. Freeze them until they are hard and then transfer to a freezer bag. You’ll want to write the variety and baking instructions on the bag as well.
